Miss Overachiever {LOH 240}

My childhood was filled with my extended family making disheartening comments about my inability to understand our native language. Trust me, I tried learning, but I just couldn't grasp it.

I went online; I even bought a self-help book for my native language, but the book only had the native language and no translation.
Realising I might never understand my language, I started venturing to learn a foreign language.

When I say I tried everything, I mean I tried everything.
Searches stated I had to converse frequently with a native speaker to grasp the language, so I went on Facebook, but the moment the people knew I was Nigerian, they blocked me. That demoralised me for a while.

Then I downloaded apps, but as a kid who didn't have a steady source of income, I couldn't always participate in the learning exercises because of a lack of data, aka the internet.
Then I downloaded the books, but I was reading them in English.
I finally went on YouTube; that was my ASL era. Unfortunately, I still couldn't keep up.

The question is
How many languages can you speak?
And what language would you want to learn more than anything?

I would say I've always wanted to learn French and Spanish more than anything. This year, around April, I joined Duolingo and started studying Norwegian and Spanish.
I'm studying Norwegian for future school reasons, and Spanish is my travel passion. Hopefully, I'll venture into other languages, but for now, I'm just happy I'm on my 38th day already.

Have a lovely day.

Learning languages can be really hard, and it can take time to find our way to learn as we all learn in different ways. But seem like you found your way to learn, and just take your time and don't give up if it doesn't go exactly as you planned 😉 it takes patience... Lots.. Lol

So you learning Norwegian?

How cool, Im from sweden and I understand Norwegian almost like my own language, danish tho 🙈 lol
Danish is harder to understand, but I do understand most.. Depending on where in Denmark you are.

Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week. Cheers 🌸

OMG, whilst learning Norwegian, I figured out some phrases or words can be used in German, like 'Ja.' I'm still at the beginner level, but thank you for reading my post.
